This comment: by @realjackryan" in the post "My dad is a client while I am an SA: How will this affect me?".
(no direct help from family, connections etc)My father is a CEO/CFO of a company that this BB does a lot of work for. We are talking 5-6 deals in the last 7 years. Over the years transaction volume has been easily 15B, maybe 20B.
I hope you don't think this is true. Sheltered and stupid is a bad combination.
